IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To get the most out of your Dash Portable USB Blender, be sure to read through these important callouts. Keep this Instruction Manual handy and stay safe!
- Remove all packaging and labels from appliance prior to use. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plugs, or appliance in or near water or other liquids.
- Do not put cord, plugs, or appliance in or near water or other liquids, microwave oven or freezer, on a hot gas plate, hot electric burner or in a heated oven. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged charging cable, after the appliance malfunctions, or is damaged in any manner.
- Do not use or assemble/disassemble appliance while plugged into the charger. Avoid contact with moving parts. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
- Only use attachments that are recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer. Do not use without the Lid in place.
- Do not leave this appliance unattended while it is operating.
- Do not let the charging cable hang over the edge of tables, counters, or touch hot surfaces.
- Always make sure that the Bottle is locked securely in place before engaging the motor. Do not remove the Bottle before the blender is finished operating.
- The blades in the Blender are sharp. Do not touch the blades with bare hands and keep hands and utensils away from moving blades. If food becomes lodged, turn off Blender before trying to remove ingredients. Always wait for the blades to stop before opening the Bottle.
- When cleaning, do not submerge the Blending Base (with electrical parts) in any liquid; instead use a soft, wet cloth to wipe down. The Base is NOT dishwasher safe.
- Do not operate the Blender when the Bottle is empty, as this may damage the blender.
- Do not put anything carbonated in your Blender and do not let food sit in your Blender for long periods of time, as these situations may cause pressure to build up that could result in a mess, damage to the blender or possible injury.
- Do not use hot liquids over 120°F/49°C, as this can cause damage to the Jar and Base.
- Keep the blending time below 2 minutes to prevent the motor from overloading or overheating. If the motor stops abruptly, allow the motor temperature to decrease before continuing to blend.
- Always place hard ingredients or ice cubes in the blender first, so that once the blender is flipped, they are farthest away from the blades.
- This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience of knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
- This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or
near children. - For any maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970 from 9AM – 9PM EST Monday – Friday, or by email at support@bydash.com. StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
PARTS & FEATURES
USING YOUR PORTABLE USB BLENDER
1. To charge your Portable USB Blender, plug the USB-C side of your Charging Cable into the Blending Base (photo A) and the USB-A side of the Cable into any compatible power adapter.
2. Remove the Drinking Lid from the top of the Bottle. Make sure the Bottom Cap is properly attached to the bottom of the Bottle (photo B).
3. Fill the Bottle with what you’d like to blend (photo C). For best performance, see our Layering Guide on Page 14.
4. Unscrew and remove the Blade Cover from the Blending Base (photo D).
5. Screw the Base to the top of the Bottle, making sure the small arrow on the Bottle is aligned with the arrow on the Base (photo E). Once the Bottle and Base are properly aligned you’re ready to blend!
NOTE: It is possible to tighten the base past the arrow. Make sure the arrow and base are aligned or the Indicator Light will blink and the blender will not activate.
6. Flip your Blender over and press the Power Button to start a 40 second blending cycle (photo F). Press the Power Button again to stop blending earlier than that.
7. Once blending has stopped, flip your Blender over and unscrew the Base from the Bottle (photo G).
8. Reattach the Drinking Lid to the Bottle (photo H). To unlock the Lid, simply move the lock to the bottom position and press the gray button to open the lid. Enjoy!
9. After cleaning your Blending Base, be sure to reattach the Blade Cover to avoid injury and for easy transportation and storage.
To help blend your ingredients, we recommend gently shaking the blender while it is active. This prevents large pieces of food or frozen fruit from jamming the blades.
Tips & Tricks
Blending
- Remove fruit peels, pits and seeds before blending. Your blender can blend frozen fruit, but for easier blending, allow frozen fruit to thaw for at least 15 minutes.
Tip: try prepping your smoothie with frozen fruit the night before and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. - For best performance, do not blend anything bigger than ½ – 1” sized pieces.
- For best performance, when blending fresh or frozen fruit, mix 1:1 with water or milk.
- Do not blend meat, hard, sticky or dry foods.
- When blending ice, be sure to blend 1:1 with water. Use the smallest sized ice possible.
Charging
To extend the life of your Portable USB Blender, we recommend:
- Using the included USB-C Charging Cable to charge it. If lost or misplaced, a non-fast charging USB-C charging cable will work fine. DO NOT use a USB-A to USB-C charging cable to charge the Portable USB Blender.
- Charging your Blender once every 2-3 months to keep the rechargeable battery fresh.
- NOTE: the blender will not activate while it is charging.
Indicator Light
The Indicator Light can blink and show a variety of colors, depending on the situation:
- Blinks 2-3 times when the base and jar aren’t aligned: the blender will not turn on.
- Lights up when blending.
- Red light flashes 8 times: battery is dead.
- White light slowly flashes while it is charging.
- Fully charged: white light will stay on until the charger
is removed. - Blender shuts off and red light flashes 4 times: food is stuck/overload protection. Try giving your blender a shake and hitting the Power Button again.
Layering Guide
Once your Bottle is packed, attach the Blending Base, flip and blend!
CLEANING & MAINTANANCE
The Bottle, Drinking Lid, Bottom Cap, and Blade Cover are all top-rack dishwasher safe. The Blending Base is NOT dishwasher safe. Wipe down the Blending Base with a wet cloth to clean.
For a quick and easy way to clean the blades, add warm water (about 2⁄3 of the bottle) and a drop of dish soap to your assembled blender and run a blending cycle. When finished, pour out soapy water and rinse.
NEVER touch the blades. Clean using the above method or a nylon cleaning brush.
